What is it that makes our region special?
We like to think we have figured that out. In fact, Ostrobothnia is like Scotland in Great Britain - original in its culture, independent as to its attitude, colourful in its history.
The secret of our uniqueness lies both in the past and the present. It lurks in the hearts of the Ostrobothnian people, who are reputed to be straight-backed, enterprising and proud of their traditions, dialect and achievements.
The horizon beyond the plains of Ostrobothnia seems to stretch furter than anywhere else in Finland. Shimmering rivers wind through the lush countryside dotted with red ochre farms. In late summer the fields turn golden and then silver from the sparkling frost. This is authentic Ostrobothnia that fills the observer with a sense of ease.
